Pieropans estate covers 58 hectares of vineyard which are situated on the stony hills of Soave Classico. The Pieropan family has been producing wines in Soave since the 1890s. Indeed, they were the first producer to bottle a wine with the name Soave on the label in the early 1930s. From the 2015 vintage onwards, all Pieropan wines are certified organic.
The vineyard La Rocca is situated on the Monte Rocchetta hill, just below the mediaeval castle built by the Scaligeri family in the town of Soave. The microclimate in this vineyard produces wines with a unique perfume and distinctive taste. Exotic fruit, almond and citrus on the nose, the palate is round and supple with pleasant minerality. Try serving with a mushroom and procini risotto.
